Managing Users
Users are managed on the Users tab found in the admin panel. Each user provides minimal data fields - First Name, Last Name, Email and Password. The Name can represent either the person's first name or their full name, making the Last Name field optional, depending on the complexity of your site.
Below the Email field is an checkbox to block all outgoing mail sent to the user. This is a useful feature for accounts with an email address that is bouncing mail or has reported spam. When checked, no mail will ever be sent to this address, except for the mail template used for resetting the password.
Plugin Settings
This plugin creates a Settings menu item, found by navigating to Settings > Users > User Settings. This page allows the setting of common features, described in more detail below.
Sign In
By default a User will sign in to the site using their email address as a unique identifier. You may use a unique login name instead by changing the Login Attribute value to Username. This will introduce a new field called Username for each user, allowing them to specify their own short name or alias for identification. Both the Email address and Username must be unique to the user.
As a security precaution, you may restrict users from having sessions across multiple devices at the same time. Enable the Prevent Concurrent Sessions setting to use this feature. When a user signs in to their account, it will automatically sign out the user for all other sessions.
Registration
Registration to the site is allowed by default. If you are running a closed site, or need to temporarily disable registration, you may disable this feature by switching Allow user registration to the OFF setting.
Notifications
When a user is first activated, they can be sent a welcome email. To activate the welcome email, select "Notify User" and an email template from the User Message Template dropdown. The default message template used is user:welcome_email and you can customize this by selecting Mail > Mail Templates from the settings menu.
The same applies for notifying the system administrators when a new user joins, with the "Notify Administrators" checkbox. The administrators to notify are selected using Notify Admin Group dropdown.
